Day 2...Running of the Bulls

A little bit of excitement today as, and I quote, "a Spaniard was poked in the buttocks by a charging beast." Fortunately for that guy, it wasn't a serious gore to the buttocks. Along with this incident, there were 3 injuries.

Fact of the day: "The bulls came from the Cebada Gago ranch, which has a reputation for raising fierce animals. They have taken part in the San Fermin festival for 24 straight years and gored 38 people, according to the festival's web site."

Quote of the day: A 27-year old Californian had this gem to say, "All I saw was horns, and I ran like crazy." That is some great strategy.

Pictures of the Day:
The guy lying in the fetal position in the middle of street...not good.

What I love about this picture is the guy in the bottom left corner diving over the fence. Can't say I blame him.
